The  Grand  Worthy  Chief  Templar  then  read  his  Annu-

tee  on  State  of  the  Order : 

TotheOffircm  and  Member  a  of  the  Grand  Lod</e,  I.  0.  O.   7\,  of  Wank- 

iiKjfon   Territory  and  liritjsh  Columhia: 

Bk()TIIKK.s  AM)  SiSTKKS: — Through  the  mercy  and  goodness  of  the 
all  wise  Fatiicr,  we  are  permitted  to  meet  to-day  for  the  purpose  of  trans- 
acting the  business  of  the  Fifteenth  Annual  Session  of  tliis  Grand  Lodge. 

The  year  just  ended  with  its  iiopes  and  disappointments,  with  its 
trials,  with  whatever  of  success  may  have  crowned  our  efforts,  with  its  op- 
portunities for  doing  good,  for  advancing  the  principles  of  our  Order,  is 
with  all  these  past  and  gone,  and  is  valueless,  except  for  the  work  done  and

for  its  lessons  of  experieiu'e,  by  which  we  may  hiive  l)ec'oine  better  fitted  mid 
(lualiricd  for  the  work  before  us.  The  year  just  closed  iia»  l>cen  one  of  tiie 
most  prosperous  known  in  the  history  of  the  (}riiiid  Lodge  Increased 
growth  means  for  the  liir  Good  Templar  enlarged  responsibilities,  duties 
and  obligations. 

At  tlie  close  of  the  last  session  of  the  (Jrand  Lodge  there  remained  in 
the  hands  of  the  (J.  W.  T.  the  sum  of  «!  1,1 27. '20.  It  was  thought  by 
your  (r.  W.  C.  T.  that  with  this  money  a  <Jraiid  Loilge  Lecturer  might  be 
placed  in  tlie  field,  for  at  least  a  part  of  the  year  ;  with  this  object  in  view 
a  correspondence  was  opened  with  parties  in  California,  Oregon,  and  else- 
where, and  filially  arrangements  were  made  with  our  worthy  brother,  Levi 
Leland,  of  Oregon,  to  tiike  the  field  for  ii  time,  on  trial.  Following  this, 
a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  was  held  at  Seattle,  attended  by 
three  of  the  five  members  of  said  Committee.  After  tluly  considering  t  ■ 
matter  it  M'as  decided  to  continue  lirother  Leland  in  tlie  work  as  Orand 
Lodge  Lecturer.  If  there  be  any  who  feel  disposed  to  criticise  the  action 
of  the  Executive  ConiPiitcee  in  this  matter,  we  beg  to  point  tlieiii,  in  ans- 
wer, to  the  grand  results  crowning  our  worthy  brother's  eil'orts,  to- wit : 
Twenty-nine  new  Lodges  added  to  the  number  rejiorted  at  the  last  session 
of  this  body. 

In  accordance  with  the  w  ish  of  the  Orand  Lodge,  as  expressed  at  the 
last  session,  an  effort  was  made  to  organize  District  Lodges,  and  Bro.  R. 
W.  Davis,  of  Tacoina  Lodge,  No.  4,  was  appointed  Deputy  for  the  district 
composed  of  the  counties  forming  the  southwestern  portion  of  the  jurisdic- 
tion, and  Bro.  E.  Calvert,  of  Seattle  Lodge  No.  (5,  was  appointed  Deputy 
for  the  district  composed  of  tlie  counties  forming  the  northwestern  part  of 
Washington  Territory;  the  Lodges  of  British  Columbia  forming  the  Third 
District,  with  Bro.  Sexsmitli  as  Deputy.  1  am  of  the  opinion  that  much 
good  may  come  to  the  Order,  and  the  cause  of  temperance  generally, 
through  the  aid  of  District  Lodges.  In  order,  however,  that  they  become 
more  fully  ethcient  the  jurisdiction  should  be  carefully  redi.strictcd.  This 
can  be  best  done  by  the  Grand  Lodge,  for  the  simple  reason  that  there  are 
here  assembled  representatives  from  all  parts  of  the  jurisdiction,  who  are 
well  acquainted  with  the  country  and  people,  and  know  what  would  be  most 
likely  convenient  and  proper  in  establishing  district  boundaries,  an  import- 
ant item.  Further,  there  ought  to  be,  in  my  opinion,  rules  and  regula- 
tions adopted  by  this  Grand  Lodge  for  the  guidance  and  government  of 
District  Lodges.  There  are  other  suggestions  that  might  be  made  on  tiie 
subject,  but  I  leave  the  matter  with  you,  feeling  satisfied  that  you  will 
take  such  action  as  in  your  judgment  may  seem  best. 

I  have  an  idea  tiiat  in  the  not  very  distant  future  the  Order  in  this 
part  of  the  land  will  want  to  establish  a  (iSood  Templars'  Orphanage. 
Would  it  not  be  well  for  this  Grand  Lodge,  by  the  appointment  of   a  com-

tlirifty,  intellig*!nt,  tliinitiiig  ]ifo|(li;;  a  ruadinj^  jieople;  newspapers  are  re- 
ceived and  read  l)y  the  inasHcH,  and  there))y  puldic  opinion  and  private 
judgment  are  nioiddcd  and  intliienced  in  no  small  measure.  Indeed,  we 
can  scarcely  overestimate  the  influen<'0  and  powei'  i^  the  press.  Political 
wire  pullers  and  party  leaders  understand  this  aui!  ;  le  not  ulow  to  secure 
the  endorsement  of  "the  i)apers."  If  tlie  ( iocjd  'loinplarsof  this  north- 
west coast  expect  to  succee<l,  they  must,  i  my  hmdile  opinion,  avail 
themselves  as  far  as  possiltle  of  newspapei  nifluen''*,'.  T  um  deeply  im- 
■/i.ssed  with  the  fact  that  this  (irand  i^odge  caiuKjt  afl'ord  to  he  longer 
without  an  organ.  I  helievi  tiiat  every  dollar  pent  in  supporting  an  or- 
gan will  he  a  niend)er  gained  to  the  Order.  Supjilf  ment  temperance  liter- 
ature and  the  efforts  of  your  organ  with  aide  publir  lecturers  aiul  it  will 
not  be  long  before  we  shall  l)e  able  to  take  our  place  in  the  front  ranks  cf 
the  loyal  and  true  of  other  lands. 

Keeping  public  lecturers  in  the  field,  supporting  an  organ,  and  sup- 
plying other  temperancj  matter,  contemplates,  of  courfje,  the  expenditure 
of  some  money.  The  time  has  arrived  when  we  iinint  (jo  ahcnd;  to  stand 
still  is  to  go  backward;  to  go  backward  means  dissolution,  death.  Wo 
need  not  only  to  preach  temperance,  but  we  need  to  loosen  'jur  purse- 
strings  as  well,  and  show  by  our  contrilmtions  that  our  purses  as  well  as 
our  hearts  are  in  the  conflict. 

In  conclusion  I  beg  to  suggest  to  you  all,  an<l  through  you  to  the 
subordinate  membership  throughout  the  jurisdiction,  there  has  never  been 
a  more  auspicious  time  for  earnest  efficient  temperance  work  than  the  pres- 
ent. The  great  heart  of  the  nation  has  been  .stirre<l  and  quickened  into 
newness  of  life  upon  this  xoon  to  l)e  all  absorbing  question.  True,  the  peo- 
ple of  Washington  Territory  can  ttvke  no  active  part  in  the  struggle  now 
going  on  for  National  political  supremacy,  but  we  can  and  ought  to  look 
well  to  our  home  interests.  In  tiie  near  future  our  Territory  will  no  doubt 
lay  aside  her  swaddling  clothes  and  be  robed  in  Statehood's  comely  garb 
Here  is  presented  the  opportunity  which  the  friends  of  temperance  should 
make  the  most  of.  It  is  more  than  likely  another  constitutional  convention 
will  be  held.  Clood  Templars  s!  ould  see  that  the  principles  of  our  Order 
are  engrafted  into  the  uew  constitution.  The  new  recruit  is  always  at  a 
great  disadvantage  when  opposed  to  the  regular  soldier  who  has  had  the 
drill  and  experience  that  comes  of  active  service.  Our  enemy  is  alert,  ac- 
tive, well  drilled.  To  successfully  condiat  such  a  foe  Good  Templars  must 
be  as  throughly  organized  and  as  well  drilled  as  possible.  This  drill  and 
preparation  for  the  great  work  before  us  can  be  attained  in  no  other  place 
ao  successfully  as  in  the  Subordinate  Lodge  room.     Subordinate  Lodges,

do  not  belittle  or  umlerestimate  your  privileges  or  your  work.  You  hold 
to-day  the  key  to  the  political  situation  in  this  Territory.  Let  there  be 
concert  of  action  and  system  as  well  as  sympathy  in  all  that  we  do. 

A  word  only  upon  the  question  of  suffrage.  The  privilege  of  casting 
the  ballot  should  not  be  lightly  esteemed.  "A  single  vote  may  decide  the 
character  of  the  laws  and  their  administration." 

Finally,  I  would  say  to  Lodge  Deputies — Be  faithful.  Do  not  neg- 
lect your  reports.  Less  than  half  a  dozen  Lodge  Deputies  have  been 
thoughtful  enough  during  the  year  ])ast  to  make  out  and  forward  to  the  G. 
W.  C.  T.  carefully  prepared  reports.  To  all  with  whom  I  have  been  as- 
sociated officially  during  the  Grand  Lodge  year  I  beg  to  express  my  appre- 
ciation of  the  uniform  courtesy  and  kindness  which  have  been  extended. 
The  correspondence  of  the  year  has  been  greater,  perhaps,  than  that  of  any 
proceeding  year;  as  far  as  health  would  permit  all  letters  have  been  prompt- 
ly answered.  For  statistical  infoniiation,  numerically  and  financially,  I  beg 
to  refer  you  to  the  reports  respecitvely  of  the  Grand  Worthy  Secretary 
and  Grand  Worthy  Treasurer. 

The  condition  of  my  health  (on  account  of  an  accident  received  the 
12th  day  of  last  March)  has  been  such  that  I  have  not  felt  able  to  rewrite 
or  revise  this  Report,  hence  it  is  submitted  witii  its  imperfections,  of  which 
there  are,  no  doubt,  many. 

In  Faith,  Hope,  aud  Charity,

powered to  establish  a  temporary  Home  for  indigent  orphans  as  soon  as 
possible;  and  that  in  order  to  further  the  work,  voluntary  contributions  of 
money  and  useful  material  be  solicited  from  Subordinate  Lodges,  and  from 
all  persons  who  feel  willing  to  aid  us  in  this  good  work;  and 

We  further  recommend  that,  should  any  great  and  unforeaee:; 
emergency  arise,  and  the  number  of  helpless  orphan's  be  greater  than  the 
fun<l8  in  hand  will  provide  for,  the  Executive  Committee  be  permitted  to 
draw  from  the  general  fund  a  sum  not  to  exceed  one  hundred  dollars  prior 
to  the  next  meeting  of  this  Grand  Lodge. 

We  would  further  recommend  that  during  the  next  ensuing  Grand 
Lodge  year  the  Executive  Committee  make  a  vigorous  canvas  for  aid,  and 
that,  other  things  being  equal,  the  place  making  the  greatest  contribution 
be  entitled  to  the  location  of  the  Home.

I  beg  herewith  to  submit  the  records  of  this  Grand  Lodge,  having; 
done  all  in  my  power  to  advance  the  Order  in  this  jurisdiction,  with  the 
great  disadvantage  of  not  being  able  to  pn,cuve  the  necessary  supplies, 
when  needed,  from  the  Right  Worthy  (4rand  Lodge,  having  often  bem 
compelled  to  keep  Subordinate  Lo.lges  in  waiting  for  working  materials. 
With  the  trust  that  our  Order  may  as  materially  advance  in  the  future  as. 
it  has  always  done  in  the  past,  I  remain,,

For  nine  years  I  have  had  the  honor  of  holding  the  important  and  re- 
sponsible position  of  Treasurer  of  this  (^xrand  Lodge,  and  during  that  time 
my  accounts  have  invariably  been  found  correct  in  every  particular.     Im-

JOURXAL   OF    PROCEKDINCJS. 


mediately  after  the  close  of  the  last  session  of  the  (imml  Loilge,  while  on 
my  way  by  rail  from  New  Tacoma  to  Olympia,  I  had  the  misfortune  to  be 
robbed  of  §700  in  currency  belonging  to  tiie  (iiimd  Lodge,  which  I  was 
carrying  in  my  valise.  How  it  came  to  be  abstracted  has  ever  been  a 
mystery  to  me,  as  the  only  time  the  valise  was  out  of  my  sight  was  while  I 
8teppe<l  into  another  car  to  confer  with  tiie  (irand  Worthy  (^iiief  Templar, 
as  he  will  remember,  and  again  for  a  short  tinie  while  on  the  cars  Ixitween 
Tenino  and  Olympia.  The  loss  I  failed  to  discover  until  I  reached  home, 
and,  instead  of  making  a  noise  over  the  att'air,  as  juobably  I  nhoiild  have 
done,  and  allowing  the  matter  to  be  made  public  through  the  newspapers, 
in  my  diffidence  I  concluded  that  I  would  say  nothing  of  the  loss,  not  even 
to  my  best  friends,  but  would  bear  it  as  best  I  could,  and  nuike  good  the 
amount,  so  that  neither  my  bondsmen  or  the  (iraiul  Lodge  should  suffer 
through  my  misfortune.  That  the  loss  was  a  heavy  one  to  me  I  will  not 
deny;  and  this,  cond)ined  with  many  other  losses  and  misfortunes  during 
the  past  year,  have  aflfected  me  more  than  words  can  tell,  but  through  the 
blessing  of  God  I  am  enabled  to-day  to  have  the  satisfaction  of  turning 
over  to  you  the  entire  amount  of  (Jrand  Lodge  funds  for  which  I  am  re- 
sponsible. I  trust  that  the  efforts  I  have  made  to  serve  the  (irand  Lodge 
and  my  worthy  bondsmen  may  meet  with  your  approl)ation. 
All  of  which  ia  submitted  in  F.  H.  and  C,

our  Order;  and 

That  the  Right  Wortliy  (irand  Lodge  has  so  dt^cided,  and  it  is  not  in

Bro.  Wm.  L.  Lind.slev  ottered  the  following: 

WiiEKKAS,  We,  as  a  (Jrand  Ijodge,  have  long  felt  the  necessity  of 
having  a  suitable  organ  to  further  tlie  teuiperaiice  cause  in  this  jurisdiction, 
aiul 

Where.as,  Tlio  (irand  Worthy  Chief  Teinjilar  in  his  annual  address 
urges  the  necessity  of  such  an  organ,  feeling  tiiat  every  dollar  spent  in  this 
direction  will  add  greatly  to  the  power  and  intluence  of  the  tenipt;rance 
work,  and 

Wjieheas,  a  temperance  paper,  The  Mirror,  has  been  established 
in  the  Territory,  which  might  be  profitably  made  use  of  in  forwarding  our 
work,  be  it  therefore 

Resolrfld,  That  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  by  the  (J.  W.  C.  T. 
to  consider  the  feasibility  of  adopting  the  sjiid  paper  as  the  organ  of  this 
Grand  Lodge,  and  of  binding  the  paper  to  Good  Templarism,  either  by  pur- 
chasing an  interest  in  said  paper,  or  by  such  other  plan  as  may  be  deemed 
most  feasible  and  practicable,  said  committee  to  report  the  same  to  this 
Grand  Lodge. 

Bro.  Mott'at  also  ottered  the  following . 

Resolved,  That,  recognizing  the  importance  of  having  an  official  or- 
gan for  this  jurisdiction,  we  recommend  that  this  (Jrand  Lodge  adopt  a 
paper  published  in  Seattle,  known  as  Thi-  Mirror,  as  such  fh-and  Lodge 
organ,  and  that  the  pnblisher  tliereof  be  requested  to  furnish  one  copy  of 
said  paper,  at  the  usual  rates,  to  each  Lodge  in  the  jurisdiction. 

Moved  and  carried  that  the  re.'-olutions  ottered  by  Bro.s.

That  in  the  opinion  of  the  Committee  on  State  of  the  Order  the  G. 
W.  C.  T.  ought  to  visit  each  of  the  Subordinate  Lodges  in  the  Jurisdic-

tion Signed,     L.  J.  BURR,

which,  upon  motioi     vva.s  adopted  : 

Univerhity  Hali,  Seattle,  August  14,  1884. 
To  the  O.  W.  C.  T.,  Officen  and  MemherHof  the  Grand  Lodijr: 

We,  your  Committee  on  Finance,  beg  leave  to  submit  the  following: 
We  have  examined  the  Secretary's  and  Treasurer's  Reports,  and  find  that 
they  agree  as  far  as  receipts  and  disbursements  are  concerned;  that  the 
monies  in  the  hands  of  the  Treasurer  agree  with  his  report. 

We  find  that  the  G.  W.  Secretary  has  either  lost  or  misplaced  some 
of  the  receipts  given  him  by  the  (i.  W.  T.  for  monies  received,  and  had  it 
not  been  for  the  Treasurer's  receit  t  stubs  we  would  have  had  no  way  of 
knowing  what  the  receipts  had  been  excepting  from  his  books. 

The  total  leccipts  re]  orted  by  the  Secretary  are  !?16'4.27.  Add  ?310 
charter  fees  which  do  not  appear,  would  give  a  total  of  §1864.27.  We  find 
however  that  by  taking  his  credits  a.s  given  the  different  Lodges  during  the 
year  his  receipts  have  been  81744.90.  Add  to  this  .?.S]0  charter  'ees  wliich 
do  not  appear  on  the  le(iger  makes  total  receipts  S20i)4.90,  which  If,' ves  a 
deficiency  of  .SOO.CiS. 

We  also  find  that  Seattle  Lodge  No.  6  has  paid  the  Grand  Secretarj- 
■?r»,3.32,  as  per  warrants,  which  does  not  appear  to  their  credit,  nor  has  it 
been  charged  to  himself;  .?H2.2r)  of  thi.s  is  G.  L.  tax  for  the  ipiarter  ending 
October  Slst;  t!ie  balance  is  for  supplies. 

Adding  this  to  the  deficiency  of  .S0O.(>.S  makes  a  total  of  S153.9."). 

Wc  also  find  that  the  Secretary  had  drawn  as  salary  S.S74.20,  while 
•JO  per  cent  of  the  receipts,  .?20r)4.90,  is  8410.98,  being  $.'?6.78  less  than  his 
salary  actually  should  bo. 

Subtracting  this  balance,  $36.78,  from  the  deficiency  of  SITk^O.")  leaves 
II  balttn<^e  due  this  Grand  Lodge  from  Past  Secretary  Wilson  of  8117. 17.

JOURNAL    OF    PR0(;EEDIN«S. 


Tlie  following  Lodges  do  not  appear  on  the  report,  and  should  be 
placed  there-  Oysterville  No.  37;  Elnia  Nc.  40;  Philadelphia  No.  18;  Val- 
ley (4eui  No.  53.  Also  these  Lodges  do  not  appear  on  the  ledger:  Wen- 
nas  No.  64;  Medical  Lake  No.  GG;  and  Cheney  No.  65.  Forward  Lodge 
should  appear  on  the  report  as  having  paid  during  the  year  $5.25.  Oak 
Park  is  reported  as  having  iiaid  .?25.28  when  the  books  only  show  ^20.00. 

We  find  that  the  Executive  Committee,  or  Secretary,  has  paid  Bro. 
Jas.  Campbell  $50  and  the  charter  fee  of  Elma  Lodge,  for  services  as  State 
Deputy,  but  no  report  of  his  work  appears  save  the  organization  of  one 
Lodge. 

Also  Bro.  Leland  has  performed  considerable  work  in  lecturing,  for  which 
§370  has  been  drawn  from  the  Treasury — also  all  the  cliarter  fees  and  col- 
lections have  been  retained  by  him,  but  no  report. 

We  would  suggest  that  re))orts  should  be  had  and  appear  in  our  pro- 
ceedings. Also  Bro.  Tiiompson  has  organized  one  Lodge,  for  which  he  has 
only  received  the  oharter  fee.  We  would  recommend  that  State  and  Dis- 
trict Deputies  be  only  allowed  the  charter  fees  for  labor  performed  in 
organizing  Lodges,  unless  otherwise  authorized  by  the  Grand  Lodge  or  its 
Executive  Committee. 

In  regard  to  the  matter  of  reimbursing  Bro.  Roberts,  Grand  Treas- 
ure.', for  loss  sustained  by  him  on  his  return  trip  from  the  Grand  Lodge 
last  year,  while  we  deeply  sympatliize  with  Ihe  brother  in  his  loss  yet  we 
think  it  would  be  a  dnngerousprecedent  fortius  Grand  Lodge  to  reimburse 
him  for  the  loss  sustained,  but  would  recommend  that  this  Grand  Lodge 
donate  Bro.  Rolierts  for  past  services  as  (irand  Treasurer  the  sum  of  $100. 
We  find  that  the  Secretary  has  drawn  out  over  $60  for  paper,  postage, 
expressage,  etc.,  which  we  think  is  rather  large,  and  besides  that,  other 
bills  appear  for  stationary . 

We  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  affairs  of  the  office  of  Secretary  have 
been  run  rather  extravagantly,  and  hope  tliat  in  the  future  they  will  be 
managed  more  economically. 

Wo  also   submit  the  following  apportionment  of   the  Representative 
Fund  ($330.85),  and  reconmiend  that  warrants  be  drawn  on  the  Treasury 
for  the  several  amounts:
